Video Scene For those who were interested in the audio-visual experience, the A-V Club was formed. The A-V Club offered information and training on the technical uses of audio-visual equipment such as video cameras and recorders. The club learned to put such knowledge to use in videotaping spor- ting events, class elections, and various guest speakers. Overall the club prov- ed to be an excellent opportunity for students to become better acquainted with the technical operations of stan- dard video equiptment. A-V CLUB Sponsor: Mrs. Bard.

While concentrating on perfecting her routine. Cindv Havens completes a back handspring Got It Together Many days after school, the In- termediate Gymnastics Team practiced to perfect com- plicated routines. Under the supervi- sion of sponsor Jean Worthington, the girls developed skills in tumbling, balance beam, and other difficult routines. To be selected as a member, candidates had to perform individual routines and be evaluated. Throughout the year, the team peformed at in- termediate functions and assemblies. This experience was designed to prepare the girls for even more com- petitive high school gymnastics. Sum- ming the year up, a member stated, It was a great experience. The team gave me a lot of confidence. I can’t wait to join the high school gymnastics.” Intermediate Gymnaslics:Sponsor: Mrs. Wor- thington. Members: Melanie Cross. Cheryl Dix, Laura Fossum.
